joining us is veronica escobar. thank you for being here. is there any reason this morning for any of us to think that this time will be different, this time congress would do something to stop the epidemic of mass shootings and gun violence? >> good morning. i first want to say, my heart goes out to everyone in boulder and in colorado because this is not the first horrible, violent attack on their community. and so they've lived through a lot. you know, in the congress, the house of representatives last week, for the second time, we passed two important initial pieces on gun violence prevention. the problem is in the senate. even with the slim majority, because of the filibuster, it's going to be very, very difficult to get anything done. the filibuster to many of us is a tool, an instrument for government gridlock. and we need action and we need it right away. >> so what are you calling for

escobar: so, title 42 doesn't address anything. it doesn't solve anything.cally postpones the inevitable. none of these policies that push people and limit their legal avenues do anything in the long term. amna: in an op-ed for the new york times today, she wrote -- quote -- "americans must finally acknowledge that the real crisis is not at the border, but outside it, and that, until we address that crisis, this flow of vulnerable people seeking help at our doorstep will not end anytime soon." last week, a group of republican house members visited el paso to decry president biden's policies. on friday, a republican senate group will visit the southern border. escobar will host her own congressional delegation here in el paso this weekend. rep. escobar: all of these republican delegations that are coming to the border, the -- what is unttling to me is the way they use the border as a prop. all of that moves us further away from a real dialogue and real conversations. we have got to focus on solutions, or we're going to have this conversation every single year

"all in" starts right now. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. there are eight people dead in the atlanta area after a horrifying spree shooting last night at three different locations, three different spas. the suspect is in police custody and we know some of the victims' names. delaina ashley yaun, xiaojie tan, daoyou feng, paul andre michels. seven out eight victims were women. six of the eight were of asian descent. south korean consulate in atlanta confirmed that four of the eight victims were ethnic koreans and don't know the nationalities. the rampage began around 5:00 p.m. yesterday at young's asian massage in acworth. four people were killed there. and about 45 minutes later, officers responded to gold spa in at least atlanta where they found three women killed. while officers were on that scene, shots were fired across the street at aromatherapy spa, found one woman killed there. police arrested 21-year-old robert aaron long following a manhunt yesterday evening

democratic congresswoman veronica escobar of texas.esswoman, you live in a city on the border, the largest binational community in the western hemisphere if i'm not mistaken. between el paso and juarez. let's start with this. my understanding is that through a combination of a variety of policies the trump administration had effectively shut the southern border to any asylum seekers through both covid protocols and then this remain in mexico program, which they kept expanding, which essentially sort of took the border and pushed it back into mexico. and it said you have to stop here before you even get to the border, before you can make an asylum claim. and between those two things, like before the biden administration came in they had essentially locked down the border even though they never announced it as such. is that an accurate characterization? >> hi, chris. so great to be on your show. yes, it is an accurate characterization. not only was the border effectively shut down in many respects to unlawful entry, but it was also shut

congresswoman veronica escobar of texas.sswoman. >> thank you for having me. i really appreciate it. >> so, i -- first, tell us what did you see on your tour yesterday? >> you know, i'll tell you, jonathan, ever since 2019, my first year in congress, i have made a concerted effort to bring as many members on a bipartisan basis to see what's happening for themselves and to talk about solutions. in 2019, i brought nearly 20% of congress to el paso. and we just started up again with our first bipartisan trip this -- the last couple of days. unfortunately, it feels like we're seeing the same things over and over again. we see, you know, a number of vulnerable people. this year, it's children who are in conditions that are unacceptable because they are in border patrol processing facilities which are not intended to hold people for long period of time. especially not intended to hold children. i see stressed out border patrol agents and a concerned community. and hhs facilities that are the appropriate place for kids that are ram

congresswoman escobar, i want to play you some sound from your governor. obviously a lot of tension within texas, both politically and from a policy standpoint on how to deal with these migrants. his suggestions and his implications about the people coming here aren't helpful. i would like your thoughts when we come back from this. >> now the biden administration is importing covid into the state of texas, posing more texans to that. and who knows what we're going to see, whether or not there will be an explosion of covid in the locations where the biden administration is putting these migrants. >> congresswoman, is this language at all helpful? i mean, distribution has been pretty low in texas in general. but the implication that bringing in people in a humanitarian crisis is going to lead to a health care crisis of covid, that doesn't seem helpful to me. how is that playing back home in texas? >> hi, jason. first, i just want to say to our friends in boulder, colorado, my heart goes out to them with what's happening there, the active shooter. we have had

let me introduce my colleague julio escobar. he is your title of director of authority justice ministry. >> yes. it is named restorative justice. >> you work in the central chancery office. you told me a couple of things. one is that your ministry is called ministry. you don't call it an office, a bureau, a program. the second thing was it is a new presence. >> well, when i say that, i mean that we need to be present when we meet people. whether it is an offender or a victim, we need to be present recovinsi panying. of a prison or a jail. >> as i looked at what you do, it does seem that you acknowledge that there is a relationship between the offenderand the victim. but now they are in a relationship. the relationship is there and it needs acknowledgment and pending. that is what you let people to understand. >> yes, the relationship is there but it needs to be a bridge that brings two parts together. that's where we are starting those justices when harm has occurred in a particular way. so, that breach needs to be connected by

here's veronica escobar, who some somehow got elected to congress from texas letting you know that if a single word about what's happening on the border right now, you are a racist. >> they can either join us in being part of the solution, or my fear is what they are going to continue to do is seek ways to divide our country, fuel xenophobia and racism, and i want to warn them that their words and the feeling of that xenophobia, that racism, that hatred of the border, that fear of the border, there are consequences to that language in that rhetoric. >> tucker: divide the country say the people who are leading and millions of foreign nationals with no right to be here against the will of the population. it's interesting to watch a demagogue like that yap into a camera and then compare her to a leader who actually cares about the people he represents. our conversation yesterday it was striking, president of el salvador took was once ability for the fact that millions have less of country. el salvador he said needs better security and opportunity and he seemed to mean it as he said it. s

veronica escobar, is this a crisis? >> good morning, jake.led the crisis was the government's response that created the inhumane conditions where we had families and small children outdoors in triple-digit temperatures sleeping on rocks. that was truly a humanitarian crisis. there is no doubt, jake, that what we're seeing today is an enormous challenge, and it's unacceptable, but we also, i think, need to acknowledge that the flow of humanity arriving at our front door never stopped. the donald trump administration didn't stop them, and what we're seeing today is the consequence of four years of dismantling every system in place to address this with humanity and compassion. the biden administration is working day and night to do it. i have been in close contact with federal law enforcement here, with border patrol, with everyone involved, and with our advocates and lawyers and the folks offering hospitality. i do want to point out, jake, that we began to see the increase in unaccompanied minors going back to last april 2020. this is not somet

i spoke with congresswoman escobar's office and they are telling me she never said this she never putone in danger and she never told us but the border agents are saying please do not carry your weapons or your machine guns to the bridge because is making the migrants feel uncomfortable and then they will not turn themselves in, is about putting our agents in harm's way, is that what is happening tell us because she said she never said that and she absolutely is denying that she said don't carry your weapons, your machine guns. >> they have been put in harm's way in several ways, one because they are having to deal with increase in the cartel activity and as you know the cartels are very heavily armed and are border patrol agents have to respond to that and they need other weapons but there is another way in which are border patrol agents are being put in harm's way and that is the biden administration was not providing coping vaccines for the border patrol in the rio grande valley region because of my public outcry about that when i was down on the border now finally the biden admini

in the spring, as my colleague, congresswoman escobar, has said, who represents el paso, in the spring, more people do come. so there will be more, as there are now. but they have to know, as the president has said, don't come. how can we address the challenges in their country so that they stay home? but since they are coming, they fall in different categories. and the administration has had plans in place to take care of the children in a much more humane way than before and that means that we have to have more facilities, more beds and the rest until we transition these children to -- nearly half, say 40% of them, have a parent in the country that we -- our country, that we can transition to, others have a family member, it's not necessarily a parent in the country that we can transition them to. but they go from the border patrol and then they go to the -- what's called o.r.r., the organization for refugee relief, and then transition out. that is being -- with fema at the border and the rest, the administration is addressing the immediate concern. it has to be, though, the recognit

today texas congresswoman veronica escobar hosted the delegation, she says resolving the influx of migrantst the border will take time. but as i mentioned in my own op ed, not one of us is asking for open borders. what we are asking for what we need in our country is open minds and we have to be ready to tackle what are challenges and foreign policy and challenges in economic policy. a republican lawmakers are urging president biden to make a visit to the border. but currently there's no plan for him to do so. a new estimate on the wall street journal says the number of migrant children crossing the mexico border into the u. s will rise sharply in the next two months. president biden is expected to come out against an increase in defense spending this year, but it's fox is jennifer griffin reports. republicans in congress are likely to push back. it's a war most longtime washington observers say the pentagon knows how to win its budget season on capitol hill, and the pentagon is rolling out its biggest guns to justify a $708 billion budget request for next year as they outline how the threa

that was congresswoman veronica escobar of texas.she is telling you the last administration is just too liberal in its border policy, those open border trump people. we are always warning us about that. that is why two months into a democratic administration holding facilities for illegal children is 700% capacity in her state. donald trump did that! please keep talking congresswoman and tell us how that all works. lecture us some more about humanity and compassion. these people. you've got to wonder if they think a single human being believes anything they say. they probably don't care. they certainly don't care about the country they are supposed to be in charge of. that is the one obvious thing. they have given up trying to pretend they are anyway making life better for american citizens. it is easier to yell at americans about making life better for the rest of the world. that is the appeal of it, it shifts the attention and alexandria ocasio-cortez can sound like a hero after offering free health care to the people of el salvado

at the feet of the biden administration, and they give important context that i got from veronica escobar last night, look at what she told me. >> part of why ibristle at the terms that there is a crisis at the border is because they want to ignore what is causing it. the real crisis is what is happening in the northern triangle. and what happens to these people on their journey. >> it will take a government response to respond to the push factors in the central american countries and on the journey here that are part of the humanitarian issue that is developing. >> let's talk about that whole of government response, jacob. you were at a site that could become a temporary shelter for migrant children and other resources are so stretched that you have kids being held in facilities meant to detain adults. they're now sleeping on the floor, complaining of freezing temperatures. they call the cells iceboxes. so what are you learning about the temporary shelters and how this approach is different from what fema is working on, as reported there in el paso. >> the reason they're out of space, ho

he told me that local congresswoman verÓnica escobar is telling the border patrol management not to work oso, office of field operations because she's concerned that migrants are going to be fearful to turn themselves in. so now the office of field operations is not working hand and glove with the border patrol management. she also told them that the office of field operations should not be holding any machine guns. she said that migrants are feeling threatened when they drive over the bridge coming from mexico because ofo officers has m4's with them. so now these -- these officers are not allowed to have their machine guns with them and they are fighting a massive drug cartel war that is happening right now. the officers were ordered to be at the top of the bridges without adequate weaponry in case -- to receive any type of attack from the cartel members while they're out of luck. what is going on? we are putting our own officers in harm's way. john: right, well, when we talk about elections having consequences we often look at what our adversaries, what nation states are doing and how
